The Prisoner is Called in for Questioning

[Izanami Midorikawa]

Seeking My Next Target ރ I'm nothing more than a weapon one that's been pointed at you ☠ SPOILER: Click to show {Prisoner} Step after step across the more than likely grey cement of the prison floor. Each step small barely distancing itself from the last as Izanami made her way down the hallway of the prison. It seemed like an endless journey that couldn't be measured as she rarely turned to go down a different path. Just continuing to move one leg forward in order to place her bare foot down on the cool earthy texture. Then just repeat the process with the other leg and start all over again. This right now was the only mental stimulation that Izanami was receiving and there was good reason for it. She couldn't move her arms due to the straight jacket that had been placed on her. Her arms were behind her back forcibly tied by the jacket keeping her from freeing them for use against the guards. More than that though was the fact that her ankles were connected together by shackles which covered her ankles up to her shins in thick heavy steel. There was only a few inches of chain that Izanami could use to make each step so progressing took far longer and actually doing anything else was virtually impossible for her to accomplish. All of these precautions hadn't been in place upon her awakening in the prison that she had been taken to after being defeated by Amagai Kuchiki. The brown haired Shinigami that had utilized the spell casting art of the Shinigami known as kido to best her and then capture her. This right now was the result of that failure to kill him. By being defeated by a Shinigami she had been captured by Soul Society. It wasn't a surprise that she had awoken some time later in a stone cell with all of her possessions gone and her clothing replaced by prison garb. She arms had been shackled behind her when she had awoken and she had been in a different cell one that was fashioned for normal prisoners. It hadn't taken her long to realize where she more than likely was at the moment and that getting out was something she'd have to accomplish. So escape was the only option and one that she took. She hadn't been physically strong enough to break free from the shackles that were binding her arms or the door that was keeping her inside. So she had used her skills as an acrobat to jump off the ground moving her arms below her legs to get them in front of her body. After that her eyes had turned golden and the door seemed to just tear itself from the stone walls. It had been a short lived escape attempt one that had been met with dozens of Shinigami prison guards. Izanami had fought them all off and held her own rather well until her reiatsu ran low and without her Fullbring she was at her full power. So after the failure of her escape she had been moved into a new cell an older one with a door of stone instead of metal. Heavier restrains were placed on her and one thing in particular on her person. That Shinigami had come apparently though as she had been taken from her cell after roughly a month had passed. A normal individual would have had trouble dealing with being alone and without anything to do nor see nor feel yet Izanami held no such attachments. Living in the cell was no different than living in the human world for her the only difference being that she had no training nor assignments to carry out. She was thoughtless and void of concerns at the moment for their was no opportunity to escape that she could see so worrying or thinking on the subject wasn't something that even popped into her head. She finally reached the interrogation room and the door opened. The Shinigami Amagai would more than likely already be in there as he had called for her to be brought there where he would be personally interrogating her to find out what had happened a month ago. He'd see as the door opened the blonde human that he had fought. Her arms behind her back, ankles shackled, mouth gagged and her eyes covered by a black cloth. She couldn't speak nor could she see anything that was going on. The guards had taken extreme caution in keeping her here and now as she was led to the seat and sat down her ankles were shackled to the table between them made of stone. The interrogation was set to begin and answers to be found.

[Amagai Kuchiki]

As Izanami was set down across the table from Amagai, she wouldn't see the horror or disgust in his eyes. But she would hear it in his voice: "Guards. Make a list of the names of everyone involved in this decision. This woman is not nearly enough of a threat to justify this behavior, Kouhai himself would scarcely be. You have seated officers capable of dealing with her without too much difficulty, no? I want the gag removed, I want the feet cuffs removed, and I want the blindfold removed. She isn't a threat."

"Do you know why you aren't a threat?" He was now addressing her. "You're just a murderer. An assassin. Without a weapon, with the weakness of your soul, I doubt your ability to kill highly trained shinigami. That, and the fact that you've been fed drugs to suppress your combat capabilities for the past few weeks. By now, your eye shouldn't work, your Soul Command shouldn't work, and you should barely be able to use Movement. That measure was meant to be mutually exclusive with your bonds, but apparently, that memo wasn't received."

Amagai took a deep breath, as the guards set to work. As the guards started with the blindfold, Izanami would see the Kuchiki sitting across from her, looking exactly as he had when they first met. His weapon was by his side, but she knew that his kido prowess, the thing that had incapacitated her so easily last time, was always ready. He was dressed well, and although his face was serious, it had a degree of compassion to it. This was unsurprising, given Amagai's stance on the behavior of Soul Society. "Compassion is our most underutilized resource." was something he was known to say.

He continued talking to her, as the guards slowly unlocked him: "So, I don't know the extent of your knowledge of human laws and society, but those aren't being followed here. We aren't charging you with a crime, there will be no trial, none of that. You are being held extralegally, by Squad 6, as a favor from my father. We have laws here, and a real prison, but that's not where you are. You are here as an enemy of the state, someone who belongs to an organization we are enemies with, and so forth. So, you have no rights here."

"That being said though, you don't deserve torture. It is an inefficient way of obtaining information, and a sign of weakness. Instead, we're just going to talk. Good behavior will be rewarded. Bad behavior won't be. I expect that there will be someone here to break you out within a few months, if you are of any importance to Xcution, and the way you cooperate will inform two things: how easily we allow you to be freed, and how much we are going to pursue you." That was a serious threat, she would realize. Soul Society could simply murder any of Xcution's retrieval specialists, as long as they were willing to devote someone like Sozen or Enma to the task. 

But they would only do that to prove a point, if she wasn't helpful. "I'm going to save us both time, and assume you're too loyal to just hand out critical information. I won't ask about that. But let's start with a few simple questions. What's your name, what's your rank, and what were you doing when I captured you?"

[Izanami Midorikawa]

Izanami felt herself being guided to the seat and then forced to sit down in the chair across from the Shinigami that had defeated her. She was expecting to be physically abused until she told them what little she knew about the people that had always commanded her. That's what they would do to her. Whenever she escaped and was found she'd always be brought back to that facility and there she'd be punished. It was one of the reasons along with all of her training that pain no longer had such sway over her. The thing was though that no infliction was set upon her after she had been sat down.

Instead the Shinigami that based on her hearing was only a few feet in front of her began to speak and seemed to be angry at the other Shinigami. Izanami sat there with the majority of her body on lock down while listening to everything that was going on. There were a few things that she didn't understand though. There was an individual mentioned while this Shinigami spoke of how she didn't require this much restraint. An individual by the name of Kouhai. The manner in which he was mentioned meant that this person was a high level threat to Soul Society.

She didn't have long to think over this individual though as the Shinigami shortly afterwards addressed her and stated why he didn't believe she needed such restrains. It seemed that the Shinigami had been feeding her drugs over the last month. Izanami wasn't surprised it was a highly effective way to keep a prisoner in prison something that they hadn't been able to succeed easily at during her first few days. The drugs though must have also sustained her body for nourishment as she hadn't eaten anything other than the small pills since being locked up.

It seemed that these precautions had been made so that she wouldn't be able to call on the souls that make up the prison for her own use. Not to mention that this Shinigami and a few of the guards had seen her golden eyes and knew that whenever they appeared something bad always happened. She could hear the sounds of movement around her now as the gag was removed from her mouth allowing her to breathe more easily and now speak. The shackles that confined her ankles were also removed and she twirled her feet to get the fresh feeling back through them.

Even these minor changes were enough that Izanami's intent was quickly changing. Her aura since she had been removed from her cell had been all, but calm and nonexistent. Now as the guard untied the cloth around her head Izanami moved her head to look at the guard. As she opened the silver orbs of emotionlessness starred into his soul and he could feel her dark aura crawling up throughout him. Her pupils moved down to the zanpakuto that was on his hip and her veins became visible across her face for a moment. Her pupils changing into vertical slits like that of a lizard. However, there was no golden coloration and the zanpakuto despite Izanami's attempts to warp it only twitched slightly at her command.

After a moment passed her veins sunk back down becoming hidden once again beneath her pale white skin. It seemed that the Shinigami was correct and she couldn't utilize her Eyes at the moment. So turning her head back strait she starred into the eyes of the Shinigami. She just sat there starring into his soul as he spoke giving her the run down of why he was here and what was going to happen if he got his way. When he was done speaking it seemed that he was awaiting Izanami to speak. He wanted to know simple things it seemed because he thought that she was to loyal to tell him anything important?

It seemed that the Shinigami was completely mistaken about who she was. "Izanami Midorikawa, I have no rank for I am no one. I broke out of the facility and was under attack from other humans when you found me." Izanami stopped for a moment. It would seem that was all she intended to say and yet before the Shinigami would have a chance to say anything else she began to speak again in the same emotionless manner that could only make one think she was hollow inside with no soul to speak of. "There will be no rescue. I'm a weapon that has been captured by the enemy. He will dispose of me now like the others when he gets the chance." Right there was something that would stink out more so than everything else. Izanami trembled for a moment just prior to mentioning this man showing the single emotion that had been displayed to any of the Shinigami.

[Amagai Kuchiki]

His sword moved slightly, and Amagai noticed out of the corner of his eye one of the guards touch their weapon. But he remained calm, and the sword failed to move, and the guard stopped. Obviously. Amagai's Zanpakutou was an extension of his own Soul, and he simply outclassed Izanami, at least for the moment. The girl had potential, obviously, but she hadn't realized it yet. She was broken, in obvious, fundamental ways. Amagai didn't know what to do with her, to be honest.

"Well, let's establish a few things to begin with. You are a human, not a weapon. No matter what Xcution has made you do, that is something they cannot strip you of. Your orders, your handlers, they do not define you. You are not no one, you are not a weapon. You're a girl who has made mistakes, and done bad things. No more, no less." Amagai's voice was forceful, but compassionate. He had...strong personal feelings on this subject, related to his own history. And he refused to let himself, or her, get trapped in an unproductive cycle of self loathing.

"Izanami, I'd am accurate in my assessment that you work for Xcution, yes? Your actions lead me to believe that, but I realize that you never specified yourself. If so, do you belong to a special program?" She wasn't acting like any of the Xcution operative that he had met. Cocky, obsessed with material wealth, disregarding human life as 'unimportant' and 'distracting'. She was behaving differently, she was behaving like a cult member, or an experiment.

"Who is this 'he' that you speak of?" The big question, to be honest. Amagai needed to know the opponent he was going up against, because he was starting to get the sneaking suspicion that this was going to become a bit of a personal crusade for him. Izanami's behavior, and the hints of her backstory that he was discerning, were highly concerning and at risk of upsetting him greatly. He had a calm composure right now, but with every word, it was clear that he was full of emotion.

[Izanami Midorikawa]

Izanami sat there as the Shinigami tried his best to set the record strait on what he viewed her as. He stated that she wasn't simply a weapon to be used, but a human girl that had been treated badly and thus done bad things herself. His words and the meaning behind them though while light and full of compassion wouldn't break through the molding of Izanami's character so easily. The young blonde had been treated like nothing more than a weapon her whole life a few nice words against that fact weren't going to snap her out of her life. They did however stir something within Izanami.

She could feel the sensation that she got when she was asleep and in the rare event dreaming. The girl on the pond inside of herself was angry. Izanami could feel the temper inside of her chest and it was a strange sensation that she herself had only experienced once. She didn't understand the emotion however and did her best to shrug it off. In the next few moments it'd fade away like all of the other emotions that she had been beginning to experience since she had reawoken.

The Shinigami wanted to know if his assumption that Izanami was a member of Xcution was correct or not. When he asked that question there was a pause for a moment. Izanami for the moment was treating this situation the same as she would in the facility she'd be answering them truthfully for the singular reason that there was no point to her life now. "I don't know what this Xcution is. I work for a group that goes by the single letter X." Izanami in all truth wasn't lying she had never been told anything different for she wasn't an individual that was meant to know things even basic things such as the group she was used by.

"What they have me do is simple. I fight what they tell me to with what they allow me to use to the point of what they want whether it be capture or death. I'm not suppose to leave the facility unless in the company of my handler otherwise I'm punished." That was all Izanami really knew about the facility and the methods that surrounded her. She had always been sent to eliminate spiritual aware individuals and spirits alike. Her training had started out more simple, but that hadn't lasted long it only gave way to hunting Shinigami something far more difficult.

When the Shinigami brought up Him once again Izanami's pupils dialated and it was actually possible to see fear coursing throughout her. She hadn't ever shown emotion the entire time that she had been in prison nor had she displayed anything while the two of them had fought. This was the first real display of emotion and the girl looked like she could die of fear at any moment. "S S Satsu . . . Satsujun." Izanami was trembling as imagines of that man crept into the forefront of her mind and all she could remember was the feeling that came with him.

[Amagai Kuchiki]

Amagai took a deep breath, and paused, inwardly freaking out, doing his best not to show it. He was a good actor, and this girl lacked social skills, so he was confident that he'd be able to succeed in his attempts. Satsujun. The former Captain Commander, and, if the secrets that he heard his mom and dad confide in behind closed doors were true, a distant relative of his. The man was enigmatic, and had done a good job hiding the few existing details in addition.

And now he was the head of Xcution, its CEO, and apparently the 'creator' for lack of a better word of this girl, Izanami. This was a complication, and a detail he needed to pass on to his father. His dad had much bigger issues on his plate, but he could make sure that this information was disseminated to where it needed to go. Even to his mother, if that's what it came down to. Amagai had never seen his mother in action, but he'd seen the after effects of her handiwork. She didn't scare him, but her affection always felt hypocritical to him. But of course, that was the case with the majority of his family.

He loved them all dearly, but they were of a different breed than him. His father was ambitious above all else, and acted as a sword to protect the family, rather than a shield. His brother, Souza, once a tender and loving soul, had grown hardened with age, and now felt harsh, and entirely unlike the brother that Amagai had once known. And his mother? His mother was a walking weapon of mass destruction. And of course, she was a loving mother, an affectionate one, but she fully understood her might, and the responsibilities that that brought.

"You work for Xcution. The information you have given me makes that much obvious. Perhaps you don't know them as that, but that's how they are known here. I'm sorry for your fear, it wasn't an intended result of my questioning." Amagai rose, and noded to her. "I'll give you time to yourself, feel free to think upon your situation further. I'll ask you further questions later." If she had a last minute thing to say, this was the moment. Otherwise, Amagai had much to ruminate on.

[Izanami Midorikawa]

After Izanami uttered the name of the single individual that throughout her existence had ever been abnle to make her experience fear and the first individual to actually make her feel anything at all she continued to tremble there sitting no longer even looking at the Shinigami across the table from her. It was like she was mentally trapped inside of her head the image of that man looking at her was still so freightening that it was sufficating. This was a girl that gave off such dark menicing aura herself that most of the prison guards were afraid to get near her. For her to be so scared of anyone was enough testament to the degree of influence this man had over her.

The shinigami that was handling this questioning though seemed to be perfectly fine with learning the name of the man that had taken her. He looked like he was just going through possibilities in his head and trying to figure out what the best course of action would be now that he had more information. After a few moments Izanami was fairly covered in a dry sweat from the fear she had just experienced and the shinigami was beginning to speak once again.

He stated that based on what she had told him that there was no doubt that Xcution was the organization that had been using her for their own gain. That was when the shinigami started to get up and that distance part of herself deep within swirled about inside of her subconcious. As the shinigami got to his feet and began to speak stating that he'd allow her to think about the situation. That he would return at a later point when she had had time to think over it all. The aura that Izanami had been giving off had been dark yet it held no true purpose other than to intimidate. The aura that she was giving off right now was different it wasn't for a purpose it just was evil.

The guard that had been in the room with both Amagai and Izanami was starting to sweat and tremble at the aura that Izanami was giving off. He couldn't help, but try to unsheath his zanpakuto out of a flight or fight responde to survive. The aura gave off every intention of killing the both of them right here and now without any hesitantion. Izanami's emotionless eyes shifted slightly gaining a more knowledgeable yet sinister gaze to them as she looked at the Kuchiki. "I have no reason to wait here thinking over what I already want."

Izanami stood up from her chair and moved in front of the shinigami making it obvious that even as a prisoner she wasn't going to be pushed around or treated like some can of info that could just be locked back up. Yet this didn't seem right at all and Amagai would have picked up on that already. It was like she was someone else right now someone that had emotions and was very very angry. Someone that was out to get something. "You say that I've been working for Xcution. You say that they're Soul Society's enemy. Well to make it perfectly clear I want that man dead. You let me go and I'll work for Soul Society until we both get what we're looking for. No Xcution and that man will finally pay for what he did. What'd ya say?"

[Amagai Kuchiki]

Amgai smiled, a pleasant one. "I see that you are agitated. I'd advise that you sit down." Suddenly, an overwhelming force bore down on Izanami, and it would take effort to continue standing. Effort, and a great deal of reiatsu. And with this force came a surge of hope, of life, of pure good energy. Amgai's soul, brilliant, golden, and pure, was being laid to bare here and now. And it was stronger than the evil that was Izanami. The guard would feel relaxed. Calm. This was the Vice Captain of Squad 1 at work, and god, he knew what he was doing.

The guard was spared from this pressure, but Amagai motioned that he leave. "If you could send word to my father, tell him that the prisoner will be leaving today. Thank you for your service." He turned back to Izanami, and cocked his head. "I'll admit, it feels wrong to reward you, given how you've been behaving. There is something deeply troubling about the way you act when cornered, and about the way you treat those who represent justice, and stability. But, you're a person who has been through a lot, and I'm taking a risk on you."

Amagai would reach into a back pocket, finding an object that he was meant to carry with him at all times, as a Vice Captain of Squad 1. "I am the second in command of all administrative work within the Gotei 13. I'm in charge of proctoring exams for new Captains, coordinating troop movements to some degree, and helping with the final decisions as far as actions go. Squad 3 obtains information, Squad 6 organizes it, Squad 7 processes it, but its ultimately Squad 1 that decides whether or not to act. Even if Squad 10 and 11 are the ones acting, it is up to my squad to decide."

"As I mentioned, I am also involved in the process of determining new seated officers, vice captains, and captains. This isn't my only duty. I am also in charge of deputizing individuals who could be useful for us, and wrangling contracts of mercenaries." Amagai withdrew his hand, and the object with it. A badge, of some sort. "This is a job offer. I'll make the terms of the agreement perfectly clear, and then, there won't be any violating of the deal. Does that seem fair? No tricks up our sleeve, none up yours."

You can say yes, or no. If you say no, I put this back, I walk away, and you go back into your cell. If you resist, there'll be a scuffle, and you'll be put back into your cell unconscious. But this is not an offer that you get offered again, if you are forcing my hand now. You've been too rowdy for me to trust you with time to think, once you have this information. If you say yes? First, you officially defect from Xcution. You don't go back, you don't see your handlers, you don't' pretend to be a double agent, none of that. The only times you will ever see members of Xcution is on missions."

"Instead, you act as a Substitute Shinigami. You'll mostly deal with hollows, and protecting a region we assign to you. You'll purify them, using this badge, and contact us regularly, keeping us posted if things go wrong. As long as you have this badge, you are free from persecution from past crimes. But it comes with a catch: If you do something wrong, we can use this badge to incapacitate you. If you try to push past it, resist? You will die." That last part, there was sadness in Amagai's voice, as if he had seen it before, and was upset by it.

"I understand you've been hurt. You've been used. But we can't let you hurt other people as a result. So say yes, or say no. Don't make this any more complicated than it needs to be, you simply aren't worth that much to us, in terms of assets."

[Izanami Midorikawa]

The dark emotions that had been suppressed in Izanami had managed to come to the forefront of her being and at the moment had full control over her. It was as if she was a different entity at the moment one that was much more evil and violent. One that sought out these actions instead of just carrying them out by someone else's orders. So as Izanami spoke and her aura filled the room with ill intent she watched as the Shinigami smiled. It seemed that he would work together with Izanami in order to kill Satsujun the one individual that she as a person not a weapon wanted dead.

However, just after he began to smile he stated that he thought it'd be smart for her to sit down. Just as he said that Izanami felt an overwhelming pressure all around her that caused her body to drop downwards. Izanami didn't have time nor the strength to do anything by the time she was on her knees. The air was thin and it was difficult to breathe immediately. It seemed that this Shinigami was far more powerful than Izanami had been led to believe even after fighting him. His aura though was the opposite of her own the warmness seemed to just wash over her soul. In the followed moments that look of malice and sinister intent vanished from Izanami's silver eyes.

No one could say for certain yet more than likely somehow Amagai's overwhelmingly good soul actually in some way seemed to exorcise the darkness that was controlling Izanami. For after her eyes lost that look of unavoidable evil they returned to the same blank slate of nothingness. A gaze that lacked all sort of emotion and left nothing, but an empty void of a window for her soul. Izanami the actual one that had been carrying out orders and had been captured was back once again and didn't know what was going on. All of the actions that had occurred since her eyes had changed weren't memories it was as if nothing had happened and now she was confused as to why there was this pressure and why she was on the floor.

The Shinigami started to speak again. He was sending word to his father that she was going to be leaving the prison. She didn't know why she was being let out what had happened? He explained that he felt wrong for letting her go after how she had been behaving. He went over his own analysis of her actions and how he found them disturbing. Izanami just seemed to stay on her knees breathing and looking at the man with no emotion just attention. He then went on to explain his ranking and the duties that he had to execute.

Izanami hadn't ever been taught properly as an individual only ever being schooled in combat and how each type worked. Along with that she had been taught what parts of the body did what and where to best attack them in order to kill her targets. So as the Shinigami continued on about how he was in charge of making the final decisions on what Soul Society would do. Izanami couldn't help, but just associate him to a brain controlling the actions of the body. She still in all honestly didn't know where he was going with this or why he was explaining it to her. If he let her go then Yumi or one of the other handlers would find her and she'd inform them of who had captured her and his role in Soul Society.

However, the silver eyes actually changed in the most human way as Izanami saw the badge held in the Shinigami's hand. He had just informed her of how he was in charge of deputizing individuals that could be of use for Soul Society. Izanami didn't know all that it entailed, but even her uneducated mind understand that she was being offered a chance to work with Soul Society. As that happened her pupils dilated in shock and she felt a new sensation. One that the Fullbringer hadn't ever experienced before one that was vastly different than rage or fear. It wasn't even an emotion in itself, but it was causing emotions to fly throughout her soul. She had to make a decision for herself something that in all truth only had happened when she wanted to leave the facility.

Whenever she did that though it was to get away for a reason that she didn't understand. To her it wasn't even as if she was disobeying her handlers. She knew that she'd be caught and brought back to the facility so she never got this kind of sensation. She felt as if what was before her was scary, unknown. She didn't know what to do. She had been told her whole life what to do and been taken care of outside of combat. She didn't have any living skills nor decision making experience outside of combat. This was something uncharted and it was frightening to the point that her body was trembling as her eyes starred at the badge. "I get to decide?"

Something so new that she just sat there listening to his words while struggling to grasp at the seriousness of this decision. He was offering her to chance to change herself forever. When he was done the Shinigami had probably been expecting her to answer immediately either yes or no. However, she just sat there on the ground her body trembling as she tried to process everything. "I'm a weapon though I don't make decisions. I don't know what to do. I don't want to go back to the facility to him. . . I can't take care of myself though I don't know how. You want me to help people? Kill Hollows? Just Hollows? Am I Soul Society's weapon? Who will I belong too?"

[Amagai Kuchiki]

"You aren't a weapon. You never were. They lied to you, all this time. You are a human, and you are what you choose to be. They can hide the fact you have the ability to decide, but they can never truly strip it from you. If you never want to go back to your facility? Don't. I'm happy to make sure that you are assigned on a completely different continent from the facility." Amagai relaxed, and gave a warm, welcoming smile, one that would calm the girl, in ways that she perhaps hadn't realized she could be calmed.

"If you need a leader, someone to follow, I can help you. But you aren't a weapon, you aren't a tool. You are a coworker, a companion, perhaps one day a friend. If you don't know how to take care off yourself, we can fix that. You seem like a fast learner, so we'll just put you through a few classes here in Soul Society. Basic information such as how to shop for yourself, how to cook food that is healthy and tasty to eat, how to pay bills, and so forth. It might feel a little silly, but it sounds like you could quite use it."

"Finally, we'll make sure to assign you a liason, someone who you can trust and confide in. They will not be directly affiliated with us, and will simply act as a person to seek guidance from about normal people things. Coping with anger, with self worth, or lack thereof rather. Those are the things I can offer, if you are willing to take the deal." Amagai stared at her, intense for a moment, "But it's your decision to take this deal or turn it down. I will not force you into this, and I do want you to know that you have a choice, in this moment. Perhaps it might be fair to say that this is the first choice you are formally being given. Choose wisely. I'm afraid I don't have much time left."

Something might nag at her. Amagai said that she was leaving today when speaking to her father. But in his offer, he said if she turned him down, she would have to return to her cell. But the rest of his words, all of that implied a variety of different things. If she turned down this deal, she might be allowed to go back to Xcution. If she wanted that, that might still be on the table, even if he outright said it wasn't. This was hard to understand or follow.

[Izanami Midorikawa]

Standing there her eyes, face and body for the first time in the history of her existence displaying a wide array of emotions that Izanami herself at the moment didn't comprehend. What she was feeling right now was unlike anything that she had ever experienced. Throughout her life there had been very little emotion. The most normal brimming to the surface was normally anger at that single individual. It had been that way for some time now and yet since she had been woken up a few months ago she can been experiencing more emotions. Emotions that she had been new to her. Right now she was dealing with something new.

She was struggling to grasp at how significant this moment in time for her actually could be. For the first time in her life the choice to do soemthing was up to her. Outside of combat she wasn't allow to make any type of decision. When to use the bathroom, go to sleep, when to train or eat all of it was an order to her and one that she fullfiled. For that reason decision making wasn't her strongest suit even when she left the facility during nights knowing that she would get punished for it she didn't understand why she did it. All of it just seemed to happen and choosing to do so didn't.

So now her whole life seemed like it was going to be determined by these next few decisions that were up to her to make. This shinigami wasn't going to make them for her which left only her decision. She was neither prepared mentally or emotionally to make this type of decision, but it seemed that didn't matter. She wasn't mature enough to understand the full weight of what was going to happen based on her decision. Either yes or no each one lead her down a path that was the opposite of the other. She was trembling as her mind tried to think of what would possibily happen.

If she told this shinigami no then she'd be returned to her cell. He had told her that she'd be released whether or not that was true she didn't know all she knew was that made no sense. She was a prisoner and allowing her to go free would only give Soul Society's enemy more power. However, she didn't understand much if anything about this shinigami so perhaps she was missing something. After a breif moment of thought she realized that it didn't matter. She'd either rot in the cell or return to the facility where she'd be punished and more than likely frozen again only to be replaced by someone new.

If she said yes then she'd be sent to live in the world of the living after being taught how to take care of herself. She'd be expected to help others and to eliminate threats such as Hollows. She'd basically be an agent of Soul Society or more specifically from what she could tell this single shinigami. She looked at the badge that the shinigami was holding and for whatever reason she got a feeling upon looking at it that she had only ever gotten once. She extended her hand out her trembling gone and grabbed the badge from the shinigami.

This badge was like her tags. She could be more than a weapon if she betrayed the facility and worked for Soul Society. She could kill Satsujun for killing her parents and turning her into a weapon. This shinigami seemed to believe in her and was ready to help her even after everything that she had done. He said that he could keep her away from the facility put her in a place far away on another continent if they had too. Holding the badge Izanami made her decision the first true one in her life. "Nami Kawa awaiting your instructors."
